Hi there,
after more than one extensive xfs_repair, my cpool seems to be far to
empty ... before the filesystem error, I had around 600 GB, now it's
below 100 GB. However, backups run well.
I suspect that xfs_repair "tidied up" a lot in the cpool directory, so
BackupPC_nightly doesn't find the ac

As far as I see, no - you are thinking of tab or sth.?
Unfortunately, the issue arose another time: I'm backing up a system via
ssh -> sudo rsync ... again, I specified '--filter=:- /nobackup.txt' in

Hi there,
I'm thrilled of this just discovered feature of rsync: --filter
Now I want to use it in BackupPC, so I added this to $Conf{RsyncArgs}:
'--filter=:- /nobackup.txt'
My problem is that there seems to be something wrong with the escaping
of the space ... I observed that with an rsyncd as

Hi folks,
sorry about that mail before, some additional information here ...
I have a very strange behaviour with BackupPC on a XEN VM instance with
SuSE 10.3 x86_64. BackupPC is configured to back up some local
directories with sudo rsync. The capacity of these directories is about
45 GB.
